◽️ Background and Significance of Exhibition
"Japan Open Chain" has been promoting proof-of-concept and implementation domestically and internationally, aiming to be "blockchain infrastructure that can be used with confidence even in highly public domains such as government and finance." By exhibiting at Fintech Surge following last year, we aim to expand international applicability through dialogue with global financial and government officials. This year, we will also exhibit within the "Metro Tokyo Pavilion" deployed by Tokyo Metropolitan Government, introducing Japan Open Chain's initiatives as an advanced example of local government and public-private partnership.
As the importance of blockchain as public infrastructure combining transparency, neutrality, and reliability increases globally, by attracting attention as a Japan-made implementation case, we will also connect to future international and technical collaborations.
